There is a lot of comfort and wisdom in these pages, but the delivery was just unbearably corny *in my opinion*, and I've read a lot of corny self-help books. I found this book really hard to get through because of it's tone and I wanted to rate it less than three stars just because it grated on my nerves, but I recognize that the feelings I have towards this book are purely based on personal preferences. I know it would be the perfect source of comfort and inspiration for other people/personalities, so I'm rating it an even three stars. I did not like it though. I constantly wanted to put it down, but I couldn't bring myself to quit a read on persevering. There is wisdom in these pages, but I found it to be completely obscured by corny, drippy story-telling and cliches. ...No, I have to rate it less than three stars. I just really did not like it. ( )
